HOT NEWS

In July this year, 13 students and 3 teachers representing 4 different schools travelled to the USA to compete in the International Space Settlement Design Competition.

After two weeks of preparation visiting sites such as Kennedy Space Centre (Florida) and the Smithsonian Institute (Washington D.C.), the Australian team joined over 100 other students from countries such as Uruguay, England, India and Pakistan to compete.

Although unsuccessful in taking out the major prize, the team did exceptionally well, gaining a great deal from the experience and this will no doubt continue to boost the high standard of the local competition.
